at as many things as possible.<br />
And have they had a go!<br />
This <strong>H2U</strong> shows it to be a<br />
phrase that sums <strong>Year</strong> 9<br />
up very well. In addition<br />
to this they have consistently<br />
surprised me with<br />
their levels of resourcefulness,<br />
enthusiasm and good<br />
humour. Our students<br />
The school, led by its Eco-<br />
Club, has recently<br />
achieved the Eco-<strong>School</strong><br />
Award. In the next general<br />
issue we carry a full report<br />
of this. <strong>Year</strong> 9 students<br />
have been prime movers in<br />
this and below is an article<br />
on its recent activities written<br />
by two <strong>Year</strong> 9 students.<br />
“The Eco-Club has been up<br />
and running for over 2<br />
months now, and we want<br />
to let you know what’s<br />
been going on! This article<br />
is about the amount of<br />
rubbish<br />
polluting<br />
our<br />
school<br />
grounds<br />
and inside<br />
the<br />
school.<br />
Last<br />
year,<br />
our club<br />
decided<br />
to make a video of the<br />
amount of rubbish that<br />
people drop around school.<br />
We interviewed teachers<br />
such as Mr Maurice and Mr<br />
Evans. We asked them<br />
have excelled in so many<br />
areas that we felt it was<br />
time to show you exactly<br />
what they have been doing.<br />
Achievement and humility<br />
What came across whilst<br />
helping to compile this issue<br />
was the humility with which<br />
a great deal of this success<br />
was presented to us. So we<br />
decided to shout for them<br />
In the Community<br />
Making <strong>Highcliffe</strong> an Eco-<strong>School</strong><br />
what they thought of rubbish<br />
and roughly how much<br />
they saw a day. The results<br />
were appalling. One of the<br />
dinner ladies picked up<br />
roughly six bin bags a day,<br />
as well as Geoff. the<br />
Groundsman, and the people<br />
on Litter Duty. That is an<br />
abysmal amount to be contaminating<br />
our grounds.<br />
Another activity that the<br />
Eco-Club has been doing for<br />
a while is recycling around<br />
school. As you may have<br />
seen, in most rooms now,<br />
there are recycling boxes to<br />
put any<br />
waste paper<br />
in, but as<br />
those boxes<br />
break quite<br />
easily, we<br />
are hoping<br />
to do some<br />
fundraising<br />
soon, and<br />
the money<br />
will go to<br />
plastic recycling<br />
boxes and other environmental<br />
causes.<br />
Also, we are proud to announce<br />
the winner of the<br />
by giving them this term’s<br />
<strong>H2U</strong> as their platform!<br />
Enjoy reading this issue. It<br />
represents a snapshot of a<br />
very impressive year group<br />
and one that continues to<br />
go from strength to<br />
strength.<br />

<strong>Year</strong> 9<br />
Green Quiz in the last <strong>H2U</strong>.<br />
Well done to Jade Harrison-Jeive<br />
who got 8/10 in<br />
her entry!<br />
Following the Christmas<br />
card envelope recycling<br />
competition 10.6 proved to<br />
be the most popular tutor<br />
group in the school. Good<br />
work 10.6!<br />
In addition, we would also<br />
like to point out mobile<br />
phone recycling which recycles<br />
old phones that you<br />
don’t need. Bring them in<br />
to school – and we’ll recycle<br />
them for you. You<br />
never know what they<br />
could be used for!”<br />
